A winter storm has dropped as much as 5" of rain on parts of the Central and South Coasts. But, the good news is no major debris flow or flooding issues have been reported in the region.
Rainfall totals include 1.7” inches of rain in Lompoc, 3.7” in Santa Barbara, 2.3" in Ventura, and 2.7" in Camarillo. Some of the wettest spots include San Marcos Pass, with 5.3” of rain, and Gibraltar Peak above Montecito with 4.3".
Meteorologists say San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties have already seen their heaviest rainfall, with the focus on Ventura County Thursday night. There could be some scattered thunderstorm activity.
The storm will clear the region Friday. Another storm is expected to arrive Saturday night, but only .5-1" of rain is expected from that system.
